Overview Fiber Optic Splitters In Fiberstore
Optical Splitters Introduction:The Fiber Optic Splitter, also named beam splitter, is by using multiple input and multiple output end fiber tandem devices, M * N is often utilized to represent a divider with M input and N output.,with coaxial cable transmission system, network system also need to be light signal is coupled, branch, distribution, as well as the optical divider is necessary for implementation.
Two Kinds Of Fiber Splitters:
Fiber optic splitters are important passive components used in fiber optic communications. Nowadays two kinds of fiber splitters are popular used, one is the standard fused type fiber optic splitter, featuring competitive prices, the other is PLC(planar lightwave circuit) fiber optic splitter ,which is compact size and suit for density applications. Both these two types fiber splitters has its own benefits to suit for several requirement.
Fused Biconic Tapered(FBT) fiber optic splitters are mature technology types, it is inexpensive and straightforward to produce, but fused fiber optic splitters optical loss are sensitive to wavelength which is big disadvantages. PLC fiber optic splitters are small size and wide working wavelength, they're more reliable, suitable to use in passive optical network fiber optic splitting, we supply the PLC Splitters including 1*N PLC splitter module and 2*N PLC splitter module .The normal configurations are 1x4, 1x8, 1x16, 1x32 and 1x64 PLC Splitters;but 2x4, 2x8, 2x16, 2x32 configurations can also be found.
The Theory For Optical Fiber Splitters:
Fiber optic splitter is really a device that split the fiber optic light into several parts by a certain ratio.Fiber optic splitters enable a signal on an optical fiber to be distributed among several fibers. Since splitters contain no electronics nor require power, they are an intrinsic component and widely used generally in most fiber optic networks. As an example, a 1X4 LC type equal splitting ratio fiber optic splitter can split the fiber optic light signal into four equal 25% parts and provided for the 4 different channels, LC may be the connector type on the splitters. Fiber optic splitter key parameters range from the optical loss, splitting ratio, isolation, PDL, etc.The diagram below shows how light within a input fiber can split between four individual fibers (1x4):
